You are all the persons you meet

Let me tell you about an experiment I did today.

I was going for a 45 minute walk in the forest, around a water.

Now imagine: It is winter, the landscape is bathing in ice blue colors, tinted with sunbeams, which have forced their ways through a foggy layer on the sky. The water is frozen and people are skiing upon the frozen surface. Still, I am not the only one walking by foot around the water, as I will pass about 50 people on my way from start to finish.

I start to walk and my mind is set on worried thoughts circling and circling in my head, it´s nothing in particular - just habitual negative stinking-thinking. In less than a minute my thoughts are showing on my facial expression - a worried frown between my eyebrows and fearful eyes are sticking out from it´s shell. This fearful state of mind is soon reinforced by my surroundings. Everyone I pass wears just the same expression. I am walking on, feeling more and more isolated, as all I pass are just as cold as I am. I pass more people; children, men, women, teens and dogs of all kind - still, they all have the same expression; a negative mix of fear, reservedness, sadness, fake pride, anger and shame. Half way I am thinking "enough is enough!", and I am deciding to change my state of mind right away.

I make a decision to breathe, to feel, to smile, and to open up my heart to everyone I meet.

My state of mind changes immediately, and now I walk gracefully with a little smile on my face and a pounding heart in my chest. The next couple I meet are waking towards me smiling! I am thinking "maybe it´s a coincidence", so I walk on, still open minded and not jumping to conclusions. I keep my smile in my heart and I soak up the sun. I then pass two young teenage girls, and they were both smiling directly at me! This continued for the rest of my walk, I met only smiling eyes. I even crossed a smiling face in the snow!
